During a recent mindful meditation session at the Dallas Meditation Center the facilitator asked us to be centered and to send the love energy to all. As I tried to do this I realized that we need to work hard to be centered. As I am writing this note, I also remember to practice the same. We all tend to get off track from time to time as something triggers our emotions out of the blue. So we need to…..

Acceptance I can accept things quite well when they go my way or even if they show signs that they are likely to go my way. I have found that I’m not alone in this attitude.

However, during the difficult moments that we encountered, our thoughts were not so calm and composed. There was a feeling of unease and often outright restlessness,…..

On Easter Sunday in 2013, while watching a TV program on the life of Jesus, we heard St. Paul share his words on Faith, Hope, and Love. You see these words at the beginning of this book. The thought of sharing our life journey took birth at that moment. It made us to reflect on our lives and the immense Grace that we have received and continue to receive. Sarojini wrote her chapters while tuned into a stream of consciousness,…..
